I have been involved in animal rescue all of my life. All our cats and dogs have come to us from a…read morerescue situation. I visited the Wantage Animal Shelter and frankly found it unpleasant. The director of the shelter is often called away and there is only an office person to care for the animals. The shelter is small and crowded and certainly does not speak well for Wantage Township. I have lived in Wantage for over 25 years. I love the town. I love our home. But the Animal Shelter brings shame to the township. Quite frankly it needs to be rebuilt with adequate staff. Wantage Township is a large and prosperous town. Surely we can afford better. Presently I would refer to this shelter more as an animal jail than a shelter. If anyone reads this review and has time on their hands to volunteer to approach the Township to improve this shelter, please respond to this review. If you love animals, the ones in the Wantage Animal Shelter need our help. All you have to do is model a new shelter after Fr. John's Animal Shelter. They started small many years ago and are now a stellar example of rescue work.

I adopted a dog here and had a wonderful experience-- this is not your average shelter. Every…read moresingle employee I interacted with was clearly passionate about finding homes for the dogs and cats in the shelter. Animals are taken care of here, and the location is clean. They were thorough, thoughtful and communicative in spite of how busy they are. If you are seriously interested in adopting, you'll want to fill out the paperwork in advance. There is an onsite veterinarian staff that does a check up on all of the animals. My dog was neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and tested for all of the major diseases all before becoming available to adopt. I knew his medical history, his temperament and how he interacted with other dogs before going home with him, plus I was given all of my dog's original vet paperwork (from his entry into the pound offsite until adoption). They even gave him a bag of toys, food and a sweater to keep warm! It was clear that the staff cared about my dog. I am so grateful Father John's kept him healthy and safe. They run on donations, and I am so happy I found my dog there!

I found a 3 year old pug on Petfinder who was at Pike County. I contacted their Director Barry and…read morehe and I had an extensive conversation on her background and the background of the shelter. He's an honest, hard working guy with a lot of heart. This shelter is not his job - it's his life. He's a dedicated person who really loves animals. Pike County is a NO KILL shelter that has had dogs there as long as 4-5 years and even adopted at that age. He was very honest with me that Biscuit was not housebroken so that there would be no misguided expectations. She's a wonderful dog and she's in the process of being trained and she's responding well. I love her to pieces and will be giving my yearly donation to Pike County going forward. Please consider adopting a pet from Pike County or even a donation of any amount would help this hard working Shelter with caring volunteers.

Whether you're looking for your next furry family member or looking for the best training classes, St. Hubert's is the place to go.

I am so sorry to have to write this, but adopters beware. I just adopted my second cat from St…read more Hubert's on Saturday, 9/26/26. The shelter provided me with minimal background information but had two of their vets sign off that he was medically cleared and healthy. That same night, he started going into severe coughing fits. Because I'm a responsible pet owner, I took him to the vet on Monday, 9/28. After incurring $500+ in vet bills, it was found that he has "severe lung changes." We gave him antibiotics hoping it was an acute issue, but unfortunately, it turns out he has severe asthma and will require expensive, daily medication for the rest of his life. I contacted St. Hubert's to notify them, spoke with the head of the medical team Lotta, who denied having seen any coughing or signs of asthma in the NINE DAYS he was at the shelter. When I asked for a refund of my adoption fee (even though they should pay for my vet bills), Lotta instead became flippant and blamed ME for not taking the offered pet insurance, saying the asthma happened under my care. That's not how asthma works. And again, she doubled down saying it was MY FAULT that I didn't get their pet insurance and that's why I have vet bills!!!! FYI- asthma is a pre-existing condition and not many pet insurances even cover it!!! She then requested medical records, which I sent from my vet stating that the cat I've adopted has pre-existing asthma, yet they still refuse to refund me my adoption fee. They told me they "wouldn't be able to save other animals" if they gave me back my $200. However, they also told me that if I had to surrender him, they'd "give him the care he needs." Guess which is more expensive??? Oh, but they ALSO "might not have the resources to help him"... so if I had to surrender him, he would be labeled as a cat with documented severe asthma who would likely never get adopted and may even be euthanized by this shelter (look at their online policy). Not only will they not refund me my adoption fee so I can pay for his medication, but they are lying and pretending that SEVERE ASTHMA happens hours after an adoption within the same day. I should also mention that my cat had an ulcer from his neuter surgery done by St. Hubert's because he wasn't put in a cone long enough. Shame on St. Hubert's for letting my cat suffer in the nine days he was under your care, blaming a responsible pet owner for taking him to the vet at the first sign of trouble, and taking no accountability for any of this. Totally unethical.

Our 6 year old was especially enamored with the experience. While Tamerlaine is clearly a believer in animal rights, the tour wasn't pushy or judgemental at all in terms of their vegan beliefs. I would highly recommend this tour if you love animals, regardless of your food choices.

If only I could visit this amazing spot every single day! My fiance found this wonderful animal…read moresanctuary on Airbnb experiences: feed and play with the baby pigs. That was the main event advertised and was enough to get me so excited for a trip, but it was actually SO much more! Before we actually even met the pigs, we got a chance to meet and pet puppies, the barn kitten, horses, goats and a mule and I have to say, Robin the goat stole my heart... While we pet and played and fed, Maggie taught us about the work that they do at the sanctuary. They rescue all different kinds of animals from different situations. Sometimes owners can no longer take care of their animal, sometimes they rescue them from livestock auctions (like Tanto the mule), but all of the time this amazing place is just trying to make sure these animals have happy lives. She explained some sad truths behind how teacup pigs are bred (they are basically just fed so little that their growth is stunted) but she just made us fall more and more in love with all of the animals we were meeting. So many animals at the sanctuary were up for adoption so if your house has a spare room, I can totally vouch for Robin the goat. They also have dogs that are looking for homes if that is more your speed. If you are just visiting the area like us, I highly recommend going for a tour. But prepare to get muddy and have very cute farm animals nuzzling up against you. Thank you for such a great day, Wayward Ranch!

I say Navaez , if my dog concerns you so, why were you unable to help in any way? Your establishment is a scam. I will make sure you get audited.

We passed Living Pawsitively when we shot out to Sussex County to buy our Christmas tree, and the name was enough to get us to stop. To start-this isn't a place to BUY a pet, but a place where you can buy AWESOME gifts for your pets and some really high quality food (one of their promises is that none of the food they sell comes from China). The people working in the store when we were there were really helpful and friendly and I really loved the stuff that didn't seem like it was mass-market crap. Lots of great signs and frames, human and animal clothing (though I am not a fan of dressing up your pets), even things like coffee cups and wine trivets with pet sayings. An in-house Barkery, gifts FOR your pets, and gifts for YOU because you love your pets...this place was really cool and if I lived closer I'd be here for all my dog needs! I will definitely make my way back out there before next Christmas! When we got home our dogs treated us to many kisses after we gave then some doggie cookies. Sadly, it also made me miss my dog that we had to put down a year ago...
